Anthem TLP 1 - Manual (Page 21)

Presets:
18 FM and 6 AM stations can be stored in the TLP 1. The
presets are divided into four banks of six. By repeatedly
pressing FM • AM, the display will show that you are cycling
through ‘FM1’, ‘FM2’, ‘FM3’, ‘AM’. Once you have selected the
desired bank, you can store the currently tuned radio station by pressing and holding one of the six preset
keys (1 through 6) for about a second. You can even do this while scanning for stations. The lower line of the
display briefly flashes once the station is stored. To recall a preset, select the bank that it is in, then press
the respective preset key.
ST / HB / Mn:
If FM reception is weak, switching a station out of stereo can reduce or eliminate unwanted
hiss and noise. Press ST / HB / Mn repeatedly to cycle through Stereo, Hi-Blend, or Mono.
Hi-Blend offers an alternative to Mono, offering decreased noise without the complete loss
of stereo – it decreases noise by reducing some stereo separation at higher frequencies.
When storing a station to a preset, your selected preference of Stereo, Hi-Blend, or Mono will also be stored.
3.4 BASS / TREBLE / BALANCE
To change Bass, Treble, or Balance, press BASS, TREBLE, or BALANCE • DISPLAY,
then adjust using the Master Control Knob.
Bass and Treble settings are stored in memory by source – for example, you may
want to set treble for AM to +6, FM to -1 and Tape to +1. The TLP 1 memorizes bass
and treble settings for each source independantly. This allows you to switch
between sources without having to constantly make Bass or Treble adjustments.
Tone Bypass:
Pressing BYPASS disables Bass/Treble adjustments, as well as defeating the Contour feature if it has been
engaged. To enable Bass/Treble again, press either BASS or TREBLE.
3.5 CONTOUR
When listening at low levels, our hearing sensitivity to bass and treble frequencies
decreases. When engaged, the Contour function of the TLP 1 compensates by adding bass
and treble according to volume setting and a psychoacoustically modeled compensation
curve. It begins to take effect when the volume setting is around -20 dB. Bass and treble
added relative to the overall signal gradually increases as the volume is lowered.
3.6 DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
The intensity of the Front Panel display and indicators can be changed. Press BALANCE•DISPLAY twice and
then use the Master Control Knob to select High, Medium, or Low.
